Elmo Stays Safe Ipad App Available
How do furry little monsters and children stay safe? The 'Elmo Stays Safe' app, developed by Kidsafe Victoria and Sesame Workshop, is a fun way for families to learn about the importance of staying safe in and around the car, driveways, car parks, streets and roads.
Developed for use by adults with preschool aged children, the app features everyone’s favourite furry little red monster, Elmo, on his trip to the park with his Mum. There are a range of activities for children to do, including making sure Elmo is buckled up in the car, deciding when it is safe for Elmo to get out of the car and making sure everything is safe for Elmo and his Mum to cross the road.
